Description
Wehe is an app that runs tests against your network and analyzes the results to let you know if your network provider is restricting or prioritizing traffic for certain applications and certain ports.
By performing free tests with Wehe on your mobile device, you are participating in an IRB-approved research project at Northeastern University (led by Dr. David Choffnes) and you are helping to identify potential violations of net neutrality. Note that no conclusion can be drawn from an individual result of the type "Differentiation detected" to characterize a breach of Regulation (EU) 2015/2120 on Open Internet.
For more details about the app, the research behind it, and analysis of data collected about net neutrality violations, please visit: http://wehe.meddle.mobi.

FCC complaint button?
I like the idea of being able to know when my data is possibly being throttled but the only way to actually do anything about is to go and file a complaint to the FCC. Maybe add a button to file a complaint along with the information to go with the complaint???
Love idea But...
It doesn’t always work. But I believe it’s due to the unanticipated heavy traffic after publicity they got when Apple refused to accept the wehe app initially. It’s working better now after I think they updated server to handle more traffic. But it’s an excellent concept, I just hope they add more apps to tests. But thank you to everyone involved because it’s a very important project to track net neutrality abusers like Facebook, google, Verizon, Comcast, AT&T, Charter / Spectrum, LinkedIn, etc
Add ESPN
Is it possible to add ESPN as an app/service to test? I should be able to see sports in 480p, regardless of how much bandwidth I’ve used but, after I stream for several minutes I can see my bandwidth become reduced to less than .5Mbs. Verizon says it’s their “network management”... and they make sure to correct me when I say they are “throttling”. 🙄 They can’t say it’s due to high use age in an area because it happens ALL THE TIME.
